It’s been a wild ride on the podcast this month as Trace and I make our way through a number of camp classics. After kicking off the series with beauty pageant mockumentary Drop Dead Gorgeous, we dived into Paz de la Huerta’s trashterpiece Nurse 3D, and covered our first ever John Waters film with Female Trouble.
Now we’re back to 3D with Paul Morrissey‘s 1974 film Flesh for Frankenstein, which takes the Frankenstein story and spins it on its head with a depraved X-rated class critique!
In the film, wealthy Baron Frankenstein (Udo Kier) is unhappily married to his sister, Baroness Katrin (Monique van Vooren) and spending all of his time in the lab with assistant Otto (Arno Jürging). He’s creating a master race (aka eugenics) but following repeated scientific failures, he seeks out a “perfect specimen” at the brothel. This involves the murder of quiet Sasha (Srdjan Zelenovic) rather than hunky lothario Nicholas (Joe Dallesandro), which instigates a series of calamitous events.
Will the Baron’s “zombies” finally mate? Will Nicholas live happily ever after as Katrin’s sexual manservant? And just what the hell is up with those voyeuristic, pervert kids? Flesh for Frankenstein is wild, y’all!

After Trace provides a quick crash course on Andy Warhol and The Factory, we dive into the 3D, the Mafia (!) and the incest/necrophilia of it all (C/W by the way).
Plus: hot Udo Kier, the destruction of the nuclear family, asexuality vs gay vibes, debates about male full frontal nudity, and James Cameron?
Cross out Flesh for Frankenstein!
